The observations of Physicist Richard Feyman in 1955 are echoed today by Physicist Leon M. Lederman, "The world is in a time of unprecedented change; largely driven by science and technology..." Leaderman encourages schools to build the excitement of true scientific inquiry and discovery by producing:
Science and mathematics literacy for all students;
Citizens able to understand issues based in science and technology;
Citizens able to discriminate between scientific understanding and personal belief;
A capable work force for a modern technological society;
People with a joy and pleasure in understanding a complex universe and the individual's role in it.
The Science Standards Aligned System is designed for all students to receive a sound training in the fundamentals of Science following a coherent learning progression and connections to Mathematics, the natural language of science, and technology, the application of Science and Mathematics to problems of the human-made world.
The curriculum framework as posted represents the intersection of science and technology. Big Ideas, Concepts and Competencies for technology specific to the Science and Technology Standards will be forthcoming.
